INTRODUCTION

To date, the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) is intensively encouraging Malaysian construction industries to develop an advance method for the capacity and capability in construction industries by introducing the implementation of Industrialised Building System (IBS). IBS is a construction system in which some parts are manufactured in factories, then are positioned and assembled into a structure on or off site with little extra site works [1]. Concrete filled steel tube (CFST) is a composite structural member where the steel hollow tube is made in factory, assembled and then filled up with concrete at construction site.

The steel hollow tube is used as permanent formwork as well as reinforcement for the structure and the concrete filled inside the hollow section increase the load capacities. It prevents the steel hollow tube to inward buckling. A CFST column is a structural system with excellent characteristics structurally, economically as compared to other types of columns such as the traditional reinforced concrete columns and steel columns.

A CFST offers many structural benefits such as has high compressive strength and ductility, has excellent earthquake resistance, is able to reduce cost and duration for the construction. These advantages have been widely exploited and have led to the extensive use of CFSTs in civil engineering structures. Many developed countries and also earthquake prone countries such as the United States, China, Australia have done many researches and using the system in their structural practices.

The utilisation of thin walled steel tube filled with concrete allows an economical solution primarily for an axially loaded column. For economical purposes, a thin walled steel section is sufficient to carry the construction loading while relatively inexpensive concrete is used as the major component to carry the design loading [2]. Studies done by [3-5] on the structural behaviour of concrete filled thin-walled steel tubes (CFTST) have proven that the performance of the thin-walled steel columns can be improved by providing sufficient internal stiffeners. However in these studies, the structural behaviour of CFTST columns were done in isolation. In order to apply CFTST columns in construction, a feasible connection between the column and beam must be identified.

STEEL BEAM-COLUMN CONNECTIONS

The use of concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) columns has become increasingly popular for civil engineering structures in developed countries such as England, Japan, United States of America for high rise buildings, bridges and other structural applications due to excellent earthquake resistance, ductility and also high strength capacity [6-7]. Due to this fact, many researchers have came out with various research works in order to enhance the beam to CFST column connections such as combination of welding and cutting through the steel hollow tubes [8]. These also included study on the effect of the different types of blind bolts [9], the effect of stiffness, strength of the connection using different end plate types and thicknesses [10].

Researchers [8][11] conducted studies on different types of beam-column connections such as simple welded connection, diaphragm connection, extending the steel beam through the steel tube, added weldable bars on top and bottom of the simple welded connection. Some of the connections showed very outstanding performances in the moment resisting and inelastic cyclic behaviour while the others were not. The most outstanding is the steel beam extended through the steel tube. This connection exhibits stable strain-hardening behaviour, develops a full plastic hinge in the beam-column connection and it can be used in regions of high seismic risk. However, the use of these types of connections has not always been convenient in construction practice. Considerable work during erection is required, in addition to extensive welding and high tolerances required in detailing.

In 2012, Wang and Guo [10] conducted a study on the connections of steel beams and concrete filled thin-walled steel tubes. Their study focusedon the effect of connections of flush and extended end plates onto two (2) different thicknesses of the steel hollow tubes namely 1.5 mm and 3 mm using extended blind bolts. It was found that the extended end plate showed better result compare to the flush end plate. Other than that, the thicker steel tube has lower deformation and higher moment capacity compare to the thinner steel tubes. Moreover, there was no sign of bending or shear deformation of the bolts in the tests except for the concrete near the bolts in tension which showed crack.

62


In 2011, a group of researchers from the Steel Construction Institute (SCI) and the British Constructional Steelwork Association (BCSA) has published guidance that covers a range of steelwork connections. The guidance focuses on nominally pinned joints that primarily carry vertical shear and, as an accidental limit state, tying forces, designed in accordance with Eurocode 3 and it’s UK National Annexes [12]. Figure 1 shows the main components of steel connections as given in the guidance publication. However, this guidance is mainly for open section (H-section or C-section) and hollow section column without any infilled concrete.

Figure 1: Typical Connections of Steel Column Using Bolts [12]

From previous researches, it can be concluded that the usage of end plates shows a promising

performance, however the moment resistance of this connection is still lower compare to the beam through the steel tube connection. Moreover, the design guidance provided is still lacking especially for thin-walled section and also filled section. Thus, in order to fill this gap, a series of investigation has been carried out on T-stub end plate connected to concrete filled thin-walled steel tube (CFTST) with different types of bolts. Experimental Work For this study, a laboratory work had been done where the T-stub end plate connecting to the skin of CFTST with 2 different types of bolts. A total of 6 specimens were prepared and tested. Two specimens were using normal bolts, whereas the other 4 were using Lindapter Hollo-bolts. Table 1 shows the summarized parameters for each specimen for this study. The size of square hollow section (SHS) for the CFST is 200mm × 200mm, the thickness is 2mm and total length is 1200mm. The SHS was fabricated from four (4) pieces of cold formed lipped angles that were seam weld to form a SHS with longitudinal stiffeners. The height of each longitudinal stiffener is 25 mm. Figure 2 shows how the sequence of SHS was fabricated.

The dimensions of the T-stub end plate and steel hollow section are consistent for all specimens. The dimensions of steel sections and bolt locations are shown in Figure 5.


Figure 5: The Arrangement of Hollo-Bolt and T-Stub End Plate (All Dimensions are in mm)

The installation for the T-stub end plate is different for the normal bolts compare to Lindapter Hollo-bolts. To fasten normal bolts, both sides of the bolts which are inside and outside of the steel hollow section need to be reachable and secure. It is proven that this method is not very suitable for onsite practices. Different to normal bolts, Lindapter Hollo-bolts can be fasten from outside of the hollow section only. Figure 6 shows installation steps for Hollo-bolts.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

The concrete used for this experiment was designed for grade C30 and the tensile strength for the steel sections are 403 MPa and 330 MPa for 2 mm and 10 mm steel plate respectively. The concrete strength for each specimen was different because each concrete batch has to be mixed at different times due to lack of concrete mixer capacity for each mix. Therefore, the results shown had been normalised according to the concrete strength for each specimen.

Results and Discussions

The concrete used for this experiment was design for grade C30 and the tensile strength for the steel sections are 403MPa and 330MPa for 2mm and 10mm steel plate respectively. The concrete strength for each specimen was different because each concrete batch has to be mixed at different times due to lack of concrete mixer capacity for each mix. So for this paper the results shown had been normalized according to the concrete strength for each specimen.

Figure 11: The Load-Displacement Behaviour of the Specimens

The load-displacement relationship curves of the specimens were plotted and are shown in Figure 10. Each load was plotted against a transducer at mid-point of the end plate where the displacement at this point is most critical. From the graphs, the specimens with normal bolts do not contribute much even though different lengths of the bolts were used. For specimens with Hollo-bolts showed better performance where they resisted higher loads compare to the normal bolts.

International Institute of Welding, IIW [14] and [15] recommended that the T-stub should be designed to transfer a limited amount of tension force in order to ensure that the column face deformation will not exceed serviceability limit state at 1% of the column width and will be no more than ultimate limit state at 3% of the column width where in this study serviceability and ultimate limit state are at 2mm and 6mm respectively.

The graphs in Figure 11 indicate that T-stub end plates connected with normal bolts have the lowest value of load for both service and ultimate limit states. By using Hollo-bolts, there is huge increase in loads for both limit states. Even though the load factor for ultimate limit state for HB16-2, HB20-1 and HB20-2 are different, the load values for service limit state are almost the same at 5.0 kN/fck.

By using Hollo-bolts, there is huge increase in loads for both limit states. Even though the load factor for ultimate limit state for HB16-2, HB20-1 and HB20-2 are different, the load values for service limit state are almost the same at 5.0 kN/fck.

Figure 12: The Vertical Deformation of the T-Stub End Plate

All specimens showed similar behaviour and failure modes at the end of the test. All specimens’ end-plates yielded at the flange plates and caused the end-plates to bend vertically upward before the bolts reached their yield point. Figure 12 shows the deformations of the T-stub end-plates before they reach their maximum loads during the test. Figure 13 shows the actual deformation of T-stub end plates for both types of bolts.

Other than the deformation of the end plates, the column faces of CFTST experienced punching failure and buckled outward due to the pull-out. In this experiment, the expanded sleeve of the Hollo-bolts did contribute largely to the performance because it gave more surface contact area between the bolts and concrete. At the end of the test, the bolts for all specimens were removed and are shown in Figure 13. HB16-1 and HB16-2 bolts show similar behaviour where all bolts bent at the contact area between the end plate and concrete core as in Figure 14(a). However for HB20-1, HB20-2, B20-1 and B20-2 didn’t deform and damage as much as the other bolts and shown in Figure 14(b).

Conclusions Currently, it can be concluded that the T-stub end plates with Lindapter Hollo-bolts showed better performance compare to the plates with normal bolts both, in terms of service and ultimate limit states and deformation of the end plates. The lengths of bolts also give different outcome especially for Hollo-bolts because their sleeves were design according to the length of the bolts. The longer bolt did give better performance in both limit states and the deformation of end plates. As for the design limit states, HB16-2, HB20-1 and HB20-2 give similar values at service limit state but different values of ultimate limit state. Recommendation In this study, the test was restricted to the differences between having either normal bolts or Lindapter Hollo-bolts with constant end plate size for all specimens. There are other types of blind bolts and rivets such as Ajax blind bolt and flowdrill that can also be used as fasteners. By using these types of bolts instead with CFTST may give various outcomes that can be studied for a better understanding of thin walled structure connections.

CONCLUSION

Currently, it can be concluded that the T-stub end plates with Lindapter Hollo-bolts showed better performance compare to the plates with normal bolts both, in terms of service and ultimate limit states, and deformation of the end plates. The lengths of bolts also give different outcome especially for Hollo-bolts because their sleeves were designed according to the length of the bolts. The longer bolt performed better in both limit states and the deformation of end plates. As for the design limit states, HB16-2, HB20-1 and HB20-2 perfomed equally good at service limit state but performed differently at ultimate limit state.

RECOMMENDATION

In this study, the test was restricted to the difference between having either normal bolts or Lindapter Hollo-bolts with constant end plate size for all specimens. There are other types of blind bolts and rivets such as Ajax blind bolt and flowdrill that can also be used as fasteners. By using these types of bolts instead with CFTST, it may give various outcomes that can be looked intofor a better understanding of thin walled structure connections.
